Beginner questions

[David E. Jones-2]

The target for the ecommerce templates is not to be used completely as-is, it is meant to be inclusive because it is easier to disable things and comment them out than it is to dig up details to add things in. For the visual L&F you need to know some basic CSS in order to modify the CSS file. Is that really too much to ask?

If someone wants to just replace the logo image then they can create a file with their logo in the GIF format and then replace the ofbizLogo.gif file with it.

That's not too hard, is it?

For a really simplified ecommerce app IMO we should create a separate webapp that really is meant to be configured and used as-is rather than being meant to be customized.

Any volunteers?

Hi Ruth,

I think we're talking about different things here, Goran has successfully changed the image (admittedly using less than ideal means) but the problem is that the css isn't accommodating his image size in the way that he would like.

Regarding the image selection, as discussed previously the image is changeable via the theme, problem is that no one has built a UI for configuring themes as yet.  I understand your frustration but there isn't really anything I can do about it.

Regards
Scott

Not to say they can't become knowledgeable, but why make it harder than
it has to be. This worked before. IMO, it was left out of 9.04 as an
oversight and not for any technical reason. Therefore, it is a
regression introduced when someone changed the UI  without first
understanding what was there before the change was made.

I think that is what he did. Bravo for Goran. Most new users won't take
the time to try and figure out where that file is. It certainly isn't
obvious at first blush where it might be and where the replacement goes.
Why not provide an upload link in the CM to do just this? The Catalog
Manager is an amazing application with tremendous potential. Why are you
so set against making it all it can be?

I think you missed the point David. This worked before and was a really
good demonstration of how the CM can be used to manage a store. Not how
hard or easy it is to change screens around.  We don't need a new
webapp. We need the original stuff working the way it was originally
intended to work.

Actually, the CM version worked a little better. It was easier to see
when an image didn't fit in properly.

Regardless, if you don't know some css basics your site isn't going to look anything close to what it could if you did.

Why, because I can't do anything about it?  That's hardly a reason for anything and since I didn't remove it I'm not really sure why we're having this discussion.

I'm not sure where you got this impression. If you have something to site about it, please do.

The reality is that this was an intentional change as part of the theme functionality in the ecommerce app, which greatly increases the configurability and flexibility of the templates. Maybe you should look into them...

It certainly isn't obvious at first blush where it might be and where the replacement goes. Why not provide an upload link in the CM to do just this? The Catalog Manager is an amazing application with tremendous potential. Why are you so set against making it all it can be?

That sounds fine. There is nothing stopping you or anyone else from developing such a thing.

What is the "CM"?

About the other, sorry, I don't agree with your design approach and I'm guessing others won't either. I wasn't really involved in the design or development of the theme-based ecommerce configuration, but I do think it is a dramatic improvement over what was there before.

Really? Which templates are now more flexible and configurable? And, why
does the Freemarker header file still look for Catalog logo overrides?

BTW, I've looked at the themes. They don't do much for the ecommerce demo.

Since you brought this topic up: As for the Webapp themes, I really like
the round over page wrap stuff, but if you or anyone else used the
Webtools as much as I do and switched back and forth all the time
between applications, I think you will quickly find that without the
navigation tabs clearly visible (as they are on the flat grey theme),
life with OFBiz is very painful. I've tried them all and I still go back
to flat grey because the navigation tabs are clearly visible all the time.

Sorry, but someone needs to do some human factors studies based on real
life users. Design considerations should be based real life usage and
not what developers think is the latest coolest thing to do.

It certainly isn't obvious at first blush where it might be and where the replacement goes. Why not provide an upload link in the CM to do just this? The Catalog Manager is an amazing application with tremendous potential. Why are you so set against making it all it can be?

Ruth,

The logo started at something like 700 by 200 px, but I actually tried
shrinking it yesterday, and got down to 128 by 45.  Just now I shrunk the
image to 90 by 34 pix, but still didn't show.  Rotated it by 90 degrees so
it became 34 by 90 pix, still no luck.

I'll continue plugging tomorrow, and you and Scott have given me enough to
go on for a while, and I thank you both.

Thanks again for the great info,
Goran

Scott,

Thanks for the pointer, I'll look into it tomorrow.

I don't mind getting my hands dirty, as long as I know where to look.  And
once I have read more of the OFBiz documentation, hopefully I will.

Best Regards,
Goran

True, some people like having the tabs visible all the time. One of the drawbacks is they take up screen space when you're not using them. So, it's a matter of personal preference - which is one of the reasons the visual themes were developed. Pick a theme that suits you and make it your default. Just because a particular theme doesn't match your preferences, that doesn't mean there is something wrong with it.

No, I can see that it has replaced the original logo, and I can see the
background color of it - which was originally white, but then I changed it
to gray, which was too dark grey, and then I changed it to a lighter grey,
which now blends with the background grey perfectly, so that the only way to
see the outline of the logo is to click on the area.

So I have been able to notice the changes in colour on the rectangle, but in
all of the above cases the black letters of the logo are not appearing.

Thanks,
Goran

Scot,

I don't this will change the port of Tomcat server. You will need to
change the port settings in ofbiz-container.xml. I think this file is
used to add the right port to the generated URLs.

Thanks

Raj

a lot of work has been done in the content section to allow
internationalization of products descriptions.

I say this because IMHO content should be handle there not in catalog
manager.
So thinking about putting link in the Catalog manage to the Content and
fleshing that out the content component seems to be a better way to
handle things, like image manipulation, internationalization of content,
and themes

Hi BJ:
Thank you for weighting in on this.
 
I agree with you in principal. IMO, it doesn't matter if this is in the
Catalog Manager or in the Content Manager, my point is that it should
not be a task performed by the user changing files in the file system.
With the 9.04 "theme" improvement, the only way a user can change this
logo is by manipulating files directly in the file system.

Regards,
Ruth

Hi Goran:
Do you have this up and running somewhere on the web so that I can see
the page. It may just be that your lettering is outside the bounds of
the DIV. By default the DIV container is 80px high and 280px wide.
Regards,
Ruth
